Teaching the Child Citizenship
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
(From “Little Talks with Mothers of Little People.”[7])
One cannot begin too early to teach boys the duties of citizenship. There are many men who are educated, intelligent gentlemen who do not “take the trouble to vote,” and are not ashamed of the fact. When such things are true, is it any wonder that we have cause to complain of corruption or misgovernment? How can it be otherwise when some of our citizens neglect their duty to their country?
